Combining the product ranges of VisionSystems (Melbourne, Australia) with Leica Microsystems, the Biosystems division will be able to offer instruments for the histo-pathology process, as well as the Novocastra's (Newcastle, UK) range of antibodies and reagents. The key focus of the division will be to develop innovative, automated systems to improve productivity and enhance quality for customers.

"The combined expertise of these two businesses located at sites in Germany, Australia, and the UK has created the most powerful force in the development of histo-pathology solutions worldwide,” emphasizes Anne De Greef-Safft, Biosystems Division president.
The existing product factories in Melbourne, Australia, Newcastle, United Kingdom, together with the German site in Nussloch will continue manufacturing for the division.
